Newlands is a forest suburb of Cape Town that receives high annual rainfall. This garden is surrounded by tall trees; the perfect site for a reflecting natural pool. We designed a concrete edge to the existing pool and installed a sandstone block  retaining wall nearby. Installed in 2015 the garden is still in the process of settling in and starting to grow, watch this space.
